French Ambassador to India Alexandre Ziegler has on Friday lauded the listing of JeM chief Masood Azhar as a Global Terrorist.

"It's a very good news for world community and India as well. For the first time, the world reached a consensus, and all members of the UNSC reached a consensus. We have initiated the process of listing Masood Azhar in EU Commission nationally, the process is just about to succeed," he said.

He spoke of how France has constantly supported the cause of designating Azhar as a terrorist. "We supported it after 2001 and in 2016. We re-initiated a process in 2017. Then after Pulwama, we took initiative. The UNSC President initiated the process of issuing the statement that perpetrator of attack should be sanctioned," he detailed.
